What Date_Holidays can do

Introduction

Date_Holidays is a driver-based holiday calculation package. It helps
you check whether a specific date is a holiday in a specific country
or religion. Furthermore you can calculate the date of any holiday supported
in the driver for the country, region or religion.

Composite, a driver that is used to combine any number of the other drivers so they can be queried at once.

If you have written a custom driver for Date_Holidays that could be included in the distribution,
please contact the package maintainers or open a feature request and attach a patch in the
bug tracking tool.

Date_Holidays supports I18N by storing the names of the different
holidays in INI files for each language. These files will be stored
in the data directory of your PEAR installation.
